As the cherries are covered and oxygen is limited, the environment gradually shifts to anaerobic conditions.

One notable practice is the careful hand-picking performed by experienced pickers over cloth sheets spread beneath the trees. This prevents the cherries from touching the ground, protecting them from soil bacteria and contamination while enhancing cup clarity. The harvested cherries are then immediately transported to the farm’s wet mill, where the most suitable processing method for each lot — washed, natural, or pulped natural — is carefully selected. During drying, the coffee is slowly dried on patios, and in the final stage mechanical dryers are used to evenly stabilize the moisture content across the entire lot, resulting in consistent quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen we first encountered this coffee at a cupping session, we were captivated by its sweetness and delicate fruit character.

It was the first washing station established by Simbi Coffee Investment Company in the region. Its owner, Abdul, entered the coffee industry after being encouraged by his grandmother, who was a coffee farmer. The station was strategically built close to coffee-producing communities so that farmers would not need to transport their cherries long distances, allowing the unique characteristics of coffees from Huye and nearby Maraba to be preserved while supporting the growth of local coffee production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, the station processes Bourbon varieties produced by a cooperative of approximately 250 members—60% of whom are women—from Simbi, Maraba, Sovu, and Kigoma, as well as coffees grown in nearby villages such as Buremera and Shanga in the Maraba sector.
